Yes it would. First coat 5/1 water/pva put on, allowed to dry. Second coat 3ish/1 pva/water put on, skimmed while tacky. As advised by an untold number of plasterers on this very board.
Where have “untold numbers of plasters on the very board” advocated that PVA ing is necessary the night before a conventional re-skim; I’ve been here since 2004 & none of the spreads I know who still contribute on a daily basis & others that have since disappeared have ever advocated that; lets have some post links!
I reiterate what I said in my earlier post; PVA the day before is only necessary where it’s being used as a bonding coat on difficult & non porous surfaces; Artex, gloss/acrylic paint, tiles etc usually applied over a very much scored surface & often mixed with plaster or cement & left to dry out. All that’s needed the following day is a light wash coat of PVA, just enough to liven the surface; if you over scrub it, the whole lot re-emulsifies & defeats the object. For conventional skim over emulsion or base coat, PVA is primarily used to control suction & in this case you will do 2 coats in fairly quick succession in the first 20 minutes or so & skim when tacky but with new base plaster or render, plain old water is generally much better anyway.
You’re posting misleading information about the use of PVA & I don’t understand why some of the other experienced spreads haven’t commented on this so far.
